Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was in support of analysts to mainly help them to prepare pitches for our directors to present to clients. I worked on different projects for banks in CEEMEA and Benelux, but also for Asset Management firms.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a high exposure and responsibility since I was really in charge of the different materials presented to clients at the end. Even if usually an analyst or an associate was reviewing my work afterwards, I had to be as efficient as possible to respect the deadlines.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Citi to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Citi
I would give different advice to people applying to Citi. First of all, my main advice is to network with people from the bank to already know what are the different values, the culture and what the job is really about. Next, I would say to really prepare the application process by having as much professional experiences as possible, a great academic performance and know the basics of finance.
